RC Monster should carry zippy

[E-Revonut]

I was looking at zippies awile ago and they seemed like a good deal until I seen the pricing on Neu packs! The neus where about the same price after shipping and I got some of the best cells available and I supported a USA based company. Although they weren't from Mike he does carry some neu packs as well and I have made other purchases from him to support him

please show me the Neu packs that can compare pricewise to TWO ZIPPY-H 4000mAh 5S1P 25-35C for $212 shipped

I have 4 zippy K packs, 2 4300mAh 2S and 2 4300mAh 3S. One of each has failed on me. The 3S that failed had 1 maybe 2 cells puff while the pack was just sitting on my dinning room table this summer. I was monitoring the voltage on a regular bassis and one day when I went to check the pack was puffed.

The 2S that failed had a dead cell from the get go. It never took a good charge on my ballance charger. Returning isn't an option becasue the shipping would be more than I have in the packs.

The other two that are still good work great. I use them in a variety of cars, rustler 2S, and 3S, the converted revo has been run on 3S (becasue I forgot my series connector), but usually 5S (2S + 3S). The packs don't get more than 105f in the heat of the summer.

I must be a glutton for punishment though becasue I have a 3S 4000mAh and 6S 4000mAh on the way that are to be run in series (when I get lutach's 10S esc), and 2 of the 4000mAh (suposed to be 25C)hard case 2S packs that they just released also on the way.

All that said though I do plan on buying two of Mikes 5S2P 5000mAh packs for my Muggy when he gets them back in stock. Sorry for the long winded reply.

thanks for the reply, it backs up what I'm saying, people are buying zippys. surely a zippy witn an RCM sticker on it is worth more than one from hong kong

You can get two 5s1p 4300 mah 25/50c neu energy packs for 125 each. That is .029 cents per mah.

The zippy's you posted are .027 cents per mah and have a lower peak c rating.

The neu are enerland cells and of the highest quality. I think for 35 dollar increase over the zippy with more mah to boot I would go neu.

Nice to see those prices. :) The Neus have come down quite a bit. I originally bought a 4S 30C 2500 pack for ~$110 or something last year. I see its $75-80 now. The 25Cs are quite reasonably priced too. The 30Cs are still $$$ for the larger mah tho. I can't spend $200+ on a battery that I could easily ruin thru bad luck or momentary stupidity. A dead $80 batt I can live with, but that's just me.

FWIW tho, I got a zippy-h for my .5. a 25C 4S 2100 pack was $40 and I do like it quite a bit more than the 30C Neu. The small mah zips seem to be much more reliable than the large mah stuff. The 2100 packs rarely needs balancing, but the 4000mah always do. I won't charge them w/o a smart balancer. I'm not sure I've ever had to balance the Neu packs.

i wont lie, i bought my friend a 4900 3s lipo for about 100 shipped.

....thats about the price i paid for my maxamps 2s...that btw SUCK. Cant get any punch outa em and run times have seemed to have fallen dramatically...went form about 20-25 mins to 10
